∫Extended Optical Zoom mechanism

Example: When it is set to [ ] (equal to 3.1 million pixels), it will take the picture using the 3.1 million pixels in the center out of the 12 million pixels of the imaging device, resulting to be more of a telephoto picture.

Note

•“EZ” is an abbreviation of “Extended optical Zoom”.

•If you use the zoom function after focusing on the subject, focus on the subject again.

•When using the digital zoom, [STABILIZER] may not be effective.

•When using the digital zoom, we recommend using a tripod and the self-timer (P76) for taking pictures.
